We are so inspired by the brilliant moving images on display in the Bennett Gallery as part of the exhibition Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection.

In this special Little Artist session, we will tour this exciting exhibition, before settling in front of Deborah Kelly’s work The Gods of Tiny Things. Under the stars of her beautiful projected video, we will do some dancing, create shapes, and explore different types of movements.

For our hands-on art making activity for this month and responding to Deborah’s video work, Little Artists will design, decorate and colour in their own moving creature.

Materials:
Glue, paper, stickers, magazine cut outs, paper cut outs, pencils, felt pens, metal pins
 
Dance Floor Time:
Exploring the ways in which our body can hinge, tip, turn and spin, we will learn a partner dance inspired by Deborah Kelly’s video work. We will feel the light of the video on our skin and explore shadows while we watch our limbs dance. Imagine if we were floating and dancing in the stars!

Benalla Art Gallery’s Little Artists program is developed specifically for pre-school children. We use games, story-telling and creative activities to encourage young children, and their parents and carers, to have fun while learning about art.
